Low Carb Asian Chopped Chicken Salad
I love healthy meals that are in the fridge, ready to go. It makes eating healthy and staying on track a lot easier. This Low Carb Asian Chopped Chicken Salad is full of good-for-you ingredients, which also have a lot of texture and crunch. Tender chicken breast is shredded and tossed with sliced napa cabbage, sweet red bell pepper, julienned carrots, roasted sliced almonds, cilantro, and scallions. The entire salad is tossed with a sweet sesame-soy vinaigrette that is extra crave-able.
Do I have to dress the salad?
No. If you are meal prepping, you can keep the dressing separate from the salad until you are ready to serve. Each portion of dressing should be around 1 ⅔ tablespoon. However, this salad holds up well to dressing, so feel free to save a step and dress the salad ahead of time.
Can I use other meat?
Another meat similar in macros would be pork tenderloin, so feel free to substitute the chicken breast for that.
How long does the salad last in the fridge?
The salad can last up to one week in the fridge with no dressing and up to three days with dressing. Feel free to heat the salad in the microwave once it is past its prime.

I made this for my husband and me and it was a hit! It was flavorful and filling. I’ll definitely be making this again!

Looks like a bowl would be 5.1 oz- so you would need to use your scale…? Doesn’t seem like it would fill me up but I’ll have to prepare and measure it out.

How much is a "bowl"? I have bowls that are many sizes. It would be better if we knew how many bowls this makes, because it's pretty high carb. More than half my daily allowance. Sounds delicious though.

Probs the almonds? Tamari? Hmmm good question

how can we see what is contributing to the carb amount? that we can also leave out some items..where are the majority of the carbs coming from?

I’m surprised you are using carrots. I thought that carrots are not keto. What would carb content be without carrots? Thank you

Carrots are fine on a Keto diet when consumed in moderation. It is contributing 1g of carb per serving of this salad, so not much.
